Jolie`s Feinkost

The Corona period was a major challenge for the population of this earth. Normal life came to a standstill and the catastrophe shook people everywhere. The cultural sector was at a standstill for almost two years and cafés, pubs, restaurants and bars also had to temporarily close their doors. The measures suddenly deprived landlords of their livelihood and forced them to lay off staff and dispose of valuable supplies. But the pandemic was also a time when people became creative and came up with unconventional solutions to their problems. Christian Joachim is one of those people.

A blessing in disguise: From Café Jolie to Jolie's Feinkost

The owner of the Regensburg cafés Jolie in the old town and Jolie on the Danube was shocked when the measures were announced and had to quickly think of a way to prevent his stored goods from spoiling. He could process food or give it away, but he came up with something very special for his beer: instead of drinking it or letting it go stale, he made a beer syrup out of it. The tradition of making syrup from old beer has existed for a long time and has always helped innkeepers save their brews from going down the drain. Christian Joachim has spent a long time refining his recipe: not every beer is suitable for making syrup and you have to pair it with the right amount of sugar to achieve the optimal consistency. And in the end, it should taste good too! To get the best taste and the ideal sweetness, the resourceful café owner boils his syrup several times. This process ensures the creamy texture and the great aroma. A two-day rest period completes the production and gives the syrup the finishing touch. The end result has a mild 1.5% alcohol content and can be used to make all kinds of delicacies.

With its fine harmony of caramel, hops and malt, the syrup is ideal for refining drinks. If you want to spice up your coffee, for example, you can use the syrup to give it a beer-like kick. But the extra ingredient also works pretty well in cocktails. You can use it to bake bread or other baked goods, refine salad dressings, enhance sauces or simply pour it over a stack of pancakes. We love the beer syrup from Jolie's Feinkost with waffles: The syrup is the perfect addition to fresh buttermilk waffles with homemade apple compote and a dollop of cream. A pinch of cinnamon rounds off the delicious experience perfectly. What you do with the beer syrup is entirely up to you and your imagination - the possibilities are endless!
